We have set up a large system and will need a controller to execute the following,
I only had one bad experience with an controller and that was Aqua Controller. A long time ago I owned a AC Pro, It was limiting in its language, no enough commands lines, wasn't moisture resistance, corroded just being next to the tank, couldn't mount it remotely,and I felt the support left much to be desired, After spending 500+ on a test probe, the wanted me to DIY the thing to make it work, But that was 10+ years ago hopefully things changed
I know the price for such a controller is not going to be cheap, I figure about 3-5k
Installed are
Three 2" Georg Fisher valves, set to turn on/off with these limiting factors:
24 volts DC Double pole/Double throw Solid State Relays All relays to be Solid State
Valves Need to be opened in random order
And needs to be shut off by the following,
An Optical level sensor or a adjustable piezoelectric pressure pad to
auto shut off by weight, Reset once water volume is at peak
I need to find a way to control the following.
A relay to turn on the following
(5) fans
(1) Central Heat and central AC
(1) Attic Fan
(2) Ambient Air Temp Monitor
(1) sump Light
(2) 400w mh light controllers
(1) Moon Light LED Controller
(1) Wave Controller
(2) Flow monitor/alarm
(2) Power Monitor/Alarm
(4) Ph meters
(2) leak/spilled water monitors
(1) salinity monitor
(1) Controllers for CO2 Valve
(1) Parasitic pump with 3-4 pumps
(2) switchable power bars for other add ons
(2) remote led monitor screens
(3) Optical Sensors
(2) TDS Monitors
Internet monitoring/Controller
WIFI Programing by laptop
Ability to record all Data and graph and compare different
monitors/meters, switches by hours,days, weeks, years
Once I have a better Idea of the correct controller system/brand I will contact the manufacture and have them check off my wish/demand List
Thank you for your insight.
